\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Before I explain how I came up with a few captions for Shannon Wheeler\u2019s drawing and highlight the best of your entries, here\u2019s a message from Bob Mankoff:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Congratulations to all of you who entered our new Cash-Prize contest! You did something most people can\u2019t do and that\u2019s come up\u00a0 \u00a0 with any caption at all. It\u2019s hard. Our brains our wired to deal with reality, not surreality. Most people look at this kind of image, draw a blank, mutter \u201cblankety-blank,\u201d and return to figuring out how to get more miles per gallon. But not you. Your brains are wired differently, so instead of drawing a blank you gave yourself a chance to draw a check for $1,000.”<\/span><\/i><\/h5>\n

Now for my commentary, this contest was deceptively hard. Shannon\u2019s cartoon appears to be set in a park, where an angel and devil are seated next to each other on a bench. Playing on the ground in front of them are two toddlers\u2014an angel and a devil. The devil on the bench is staring at them and looks exhausted or resigned or depressed. The angel on the bench is addressing him. <\/span><\/p>\n

Initially, I thought it would be easy to come up with a concise caption that, as all good captions must, reconciled the disparate frames of reference: heaven and hell, fatherhood, and playdates. But I was wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n

After staring at the image for a while, I focused on the antagonistic relationship between angels and devils and thought about parents who dislike each other but are nevertheless forced to spend time together because their kids are friends: <\/span>\u201cLots of people hate their kids\u2019 friends\u2019 parents.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

I next thought about parents who brag about their children: <\/span>\u201cI\u2019m not judging. I\u2019m just saying mine<\/b> is<\/i><\/b> a little angel and yours <\/b>is<\/i><\/b> a little devil.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Finally, I suggested that the devil was a divorced father whose time with his son was subject to court-imposed restrictions: <\/span>\u201cLook, if it were up to me your visits would be unsupervised.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

This is where I\u2019d normally write, \u201cNow let\u2019s see how you did.\u201d But before I get to your entries, let me explain how we selected this week\u2019s winner. There\u2019s a good amount of money at stake, so we wanted to make sure we did our best to pick the best caption. We therefore created a panel of five judges: me, Bob, Shannon Wheeler, and two other cartoonists (Trevor Hoey and Joel Mishon, both of whom work at CartoonStock). We made our judgments independently, and without knowing any entrant\u2019s identity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It turns out that, in many cases, the five of us liked different captions, so I will highlight every entry that at least one of us favored.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

OK, <\/span>now<\/span><\/i> let\u2019s see how you did.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several of you suggested that that the angel and devil have more in common than one would expect:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u201cHard to believe they have the same mother.<\/b>\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. \u201cThey\u2019re twins. By the way, how do you know my wife?\u201d<\/b><\/li>\n
  3. \u201cWait\u2026his mom is a Sheila from Hoboken, too?\u2019<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. \u201cHow\u2019s my ex?\u201d<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here are the best two divorce jokes:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \u201cWell, sure your divorce went better \u2013 you have all the lawyers.\u201d<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. \u201cI got soul custody.\u201d<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      That last entry is a decent pun, and here\u2019s another: <\/span>\u201cI\u2019m only his guardian.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

      Here\u2019s a clever variation on a patently false statement that\u2019s made by people who try too hard to deny their racist tendencies: <\/span>\u201cWe don\u2019t see color, but we see horns.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

      And here\u2019s the best scatological joke: <\/span>\u201cYou don\u2019t know evil \u2018til you\u2019ve changed its diaper.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

      One of you focused on the devils\u2019 clothing: <\/span>\u201cYour son can pull it off, but you should lose the Speedo.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

      And one of you made a reference to the best movie ever made about Satan impregnating a woman who lives on the Upper West Side:<\/span> \u201cHow\u2019s Rosemary?\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

      This entry suggests that the devil looks depressed because he and his son have nothing in common: <\/span>\u201cC\u2019mon Frank. I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll be making bad choices before you know it.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

      Here\u2019s the best reference to recent and disturbing legal decisions on reproductive rights, the separation of church and state, gun control, and environmental protection: <\/span>\u201cSo which one do you think will grow up to serve on the Supreme Court?\u201d<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Is there anything more annoying than a parent who claims their toddler is a genius? No. That\u2019s why I like this caption: <\/span>\u201cI hear your kid\u2018s an evil genius.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

      One of you alluded to the devil\u2019s strained relationship with God: <\/span>\u201cI meant to say \u2018Gesundheit.\u2019\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

      Many of you focused on the challenges of parenthood:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \u201cUntil I became a parent, I thought there was only one hell.\u201d<\/b>\u201cSo much for eternal rest.\u201d
        \n<\/b><\/li>\n
      2. \u201cLittle angel, my ass!\u201d
        \n<\/b><\/li>\n
      3. \u201cOnly when he\u2019s asleep.\u201d
        \n<\/b><\/li>\n
      4. \u201cMy kid\u2019s no angel, either.\u201d
        \n<\/b><\/li>\n
      5. \u201cGod forbid they listen.\u201d<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Sometimes the challenges are so overwhelming the parent regrets ever having children: <\/span>\u201cWe should\u2019ve used protection.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

        As always, I\u2019ll end with several captions that don\u2019t fit neatly into any category:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \u201cStill, I\u2019d take a paternity test.\u201d<\/b><\/li>\n
        2. \u201cWe\u2019ve raised him without religion.\u201d<\/b><\/li>\n
        3. \u201cThey\u2019re all cute when they\u2019re little.\u201d<\/b><\/li>\n
        4. \u201cI said I was sorry about the bath time\/holy water incident.\u201d<\/b><\/li>\n
        5. \u201cDo you think it\u2019s parenting or genetics?\u201d<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          I like that last joke, but I wish it were, \u201cNature or nurture?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          Congratulations to MARK STROUT, who submitted this month\u2019s winning entry: <\/span>\u201cSo much for eternal rest.\u201d<\/b> It\u2019s short, it fits the characters\u2019 expressions, and it addresses every aspect of the drawing\u2014in this case, by alluding to both spirituality and parenting. In Bob\u2019s words, \u201cit solves the comic puzzle.\u201d Most important, for us, it\u2019s funny. Most important, for Mark, it\u2019s money.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
